Andy Warhol -

Muhammad Ali Exhibition Card

About This Work

Andy Warhol photographed Muhammad Ali for the first time as part of his 1977 Athletes series. At the time of their first encounter, Muhammad Ali was — for the third time — the World Boxing Association Heavyweight Champion and Andy Warhol was approaching the peak of his celebrity.
This exhibition postcard was printed to commemorate the release of Warhol’s set of four screenprints – Muhammad Ali, 1978. It has been signed by Warhol in felt pen along the bottom of the card.
